The Genesta VIII Win.

LONDON, June 25.-[New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. THE Genesta
has evidently won the great jubilee race ire
spective of all time allowance. The yachts
men at the clubs this morning were amusing
themselves with reflections that only people
who knew nothing about yachts during the
race are those who have paid Sl20 each to
follow these in the Norham Castle. No
doubt the passengers have enjoyed the views
of the IIebrides and the pleasure of good
sea air and brilliant sunshine but they lost
the London illuminatlons and professions,
and have not been able to discover single
racing yacht from the second day after start
ing. One passenger is special reporter
engaged for New York daily. Few
bets have been made, inasmuch as it was be-
lleved from the outset that Sir Richard Sut-
tons experienced navigation and skill In
handling the GeneSta must result in his
winning.
The Field to-day says: The progress Of
the Norham Castle appears to be somewhat
like that of the steamer which set out to
accompany the race of the Cambria and
Sappho in 1870 and to mark the course. She
lost the yachts after the first hour, though
making pleasure trip to the French coast.
and saw nothing of them until she returned
TO Cowes next morning, where she found
them at anchor. Those on board the Nor
ham Castle have, however, been able to CLEAN
some news of the yachts, for, as one special
correspondent on board naively remarks,
they have at last been able to hear something
of the yachts by reading the kilograms in the
newspapers.

LONDON, June 25.-TNew York Herald

the day of the summer meeting of the Lon

Great interest arose from Il. ID. Lange, IL.

entered for the two-mile walk, thirty yard
hurdles, and high jump respectively. About
1000 attended, including many ladies.
The mile and half handicap was won
from the Scratia mark by A. b. George,
young brother of w. q. George, in 220 yards.
The level race, Q. Il. Wood, of the Black
heath Harrier's CLUB, lowered the record with
2:14-5 seconds.
The first New Yorker out was Young for
the hurdles, wearing an elastic stocking on
his left leg and the Manhattan colors on
his breast. He ran in the fourth heat, but

the winner eight yards. He explained his
defeat by saying: "My left leg is sprung and

the better part of valor and refused to jump,

fatteringly of Lange's victory, adding: "It
will do good in both countries to see for

All three Americans assured me that the
London Athletic Club, who had made them
all honorary members, had and are doing all
they can to make their visit comfortable.
